Jersey Turnpike

What Babe Ruth Used to Wear

And with the All-Stars in Anaheim next week, the home stretch of the season looming and the World Series not
that far behind, you’ll want to make sure you look sharp out there as well.

But you’ve never really been a wear-a-jersey-to-the-game type...

Enter Ebbets Field Flannels, a site selling custom replicas of vintage baseball gear dating back to
the 1880s that may make you rethink the jersey, taking orders now.

Unless your great-grandfather passed a jersey down from his old days bumming around the Pacific
International League, you probably haven’t laid your hands on flannel this aggressively vintage and
American.

There are a healthy number of non-MLB nuggets from teams you may or may not know about, including the
Pacific Coast League’s San Francisco Missions and Joe DiMaggio’s Seals, or even the Oakland Oaks. Of
course, if you’re not stuck on SF, there’s the Pittsburgh Stogies or Boston Beaneaters (precursor to the
tougher moniker of the Atlanta Braves).

And if you’re still not ready for a jersey, there are wool caps from every imaginable old team and grounds
crew jackets from bygone stadiums.
